California’s AB 1572 marks a major shift in how commercial, municipal, and HOA landscapes can use potable water. The new regulation restricts potable water irrigation of nonfunctional turf—grass that doesn’t serve a recreational or community purpose—across public and private properties.
At Monarch Landscape, we understand the challenges of navigating evolving water-use regulations while maintaining the beauty and functionality of your property. Our turnkey turf conversion program offers a clear, compliant, and sustainable path forward—protecting your landscape investment while aligning with state mandates and rebate opportunities.
